39.|| Make Me.

Lilliana’s POV

I found a place out in the garden to sit and I closed my eyes as I let out a groan. I didn’t want to but I couldn’t help but feel like I overreacted. All Nikolai did was to look out for me and I just lashed out at him like it was his fault.

I’d gotten in an unfortunate situation with the rest of the maids like I usually do and seeing that I couldn’t stand up for myself, he took it upon himself to do that for me.

As much as I hated Denise and the rest for how they usually treated me, the last thing I wanted to feel was guilt for being the reason that a bunch of people lost their jobs.

“Why does he have to show up at that moment, gosh.” I said, hitting my legs on the floor and pinching the bridge of my nose as I sighed again. I hated the fact that Nikolai had to be impulsive but what I hated more was the fact that I let my anger overwhelm me.

If he hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have said all of those things to him out of anger, now I regret letting my anger take over me lik
